Harry Redknapp does not think Peter Crouch will be swapping Stoke for QPR today.

Crouch, 32, has been heavily linked with a return to Loftus Road, where he played during the 2000-01 season.

The 6ft 7in striker has previously worked with Redknapp at Southampton, Portsmouth and Tottenham but it looks like he will be remaining in the Potteries.

Speaking outside QPR’s Harlington training ground, Redknapp said on Crouch: 'No, I don’t think anything there (is happening with him). It is very quiet.'

Redknapp is likely to move for Peter Odemwingie if a deal cannot be agreed for Crouch but the chances of Junior Hoilett moving to West Brom in the other direction are very slim.

The Canadian forward's salary does not fit into Albion's pay structure and he would have to take a large pay cut if he were to move to The Hawthorns.

Meanwhile Redknapp, who has already confirmed the signing of Anzhi Makhachkala’s Christopher Samba today, also confirmed midfielder Alejandro Faurlin is joining Palermo on loan until the end of the season.

'Ali is going on loan,' the Rangers boss said. 'He wants to go and play and he has got a chance to Palermo so that’s good for him.'
